My post on companies that do and those that dont test on animals

Illamasqua's sale has some awesome bargains and i couldn't say no to having a look at their Cardiff Debenhams counter.
After browsing for ages and chatting to the always lovely counter staff, i came away with 4 items, including a free item (yaaay for friendly staff!). I had to be careful as i could have bought so much more.

As id liked some of the MUA eyeshadow singles i thought id give the lipsticks a try and spotted this shade as being a nice alternative to a strong red.
Shade 10 - a soft red/coral with gold and pink shimmer. It is a nicely pigmented colour and very glossy. It needs a few coats for a full colour, but once applied, is a lovely shimmery shade on the lips and gives a nice alternative to full on red. It fades slowly and leaves a nice pinky red stain. Its moisturising and a bargain for £1!

I like to wear this with strong neutral eye-makeup as a true red would be too much for everyday wear.

I didnt go out on New Years as i didnt have the energy to do so, but me and my partner did visit friends, so this was the look i did for that. I originally did a look with Sleek's Sparkle palette, but wasnt happy with it, so went to my newly pressed mineral neutral shades palette i'd made from my Fyrinnae powders and various mineral eye shadow samples

About Me

I love makeup, the drama of it, the ability to change your appearance and create an Alter ego....or 3!
I now only blog about cosmetics that have not been tested on animals and research any new brand that's come to find out if it too is cruelty free.
As an alt model and costumer i've learnt plenty of makeup techniques and tricks and got to learn a few more from some of the big names in film and tv too!
This blog is to review the makeup i buy and try as well as show some of the looks i create...yep i have many a draw full of the stuff!I have incredibly pale skin and its quite oily on my tzone so many of the reviews will be biased to that.If you have different skin, your experience with the same product might be totally different, so please bare that in mind!
